If there was a Pentax APS-C body that worked as well as the K-1 at the operator level, I'd be seriously considering it. The KP comes close, but lacks some of the interface features of the K-1. If a next iteration of the KP brought it up to the K-1 standard, I'd probably buy it. I hardly ever use my K-3 now, not because it isn't a decent camera, but the K-1 has raised the bar for operability, and that's almost as important to me as the quality of the images it produces. I like cameras (and other things) that work so well with me that I'm drawn to using them.
The main reason I'd go for another APS-C body is to allow me to travel comparatively lightly with a good camera system. A scoliosis and some lumbar disc compression means my back gives up before the rest of me does. I've probably got one more trip away with the K-1 and a few lenses before I'm forced to seriously consider what I do the next time. Mind you, if a second range of new lightweight 35FF lenses appears, I might just stay with the K-1, but I don't think that's going to happen in the near term.
